The star has had a famously complicated but ultimately historic run with the Recording Academy.

In 2023, Beyoncé made history when she became the most decorated artist in Grammy history — but her complicated relationship with the Recording Academy dates back more than two decades.
At the turn of the millennium, the superstar scored her first set of nods as part of Destiny’s Child, after which she’d continue to steadily rack up double-digit wins and even more nominations following her stunning solo debut in 2003. When she made history exactly 20 years later by securing her 32nd win (for best dance/electronic recording for Billboard Hot 100-topping single “Break My Soul”), she surpassed late classical conductor Sir Georg Solti’s previous record to become the artist with the most wins of all time.
Even so, the title of “Grammy darling” doesn’t quite fit Beyoncé. Despite her staggering run with the award show, the academy has famously under-recognized her in its major three categories: album, record and song of the year. At the time of her historic 32nd win in 2023, she’d only ever won in one of those divisions to date, having taken home song of the year over a decade prior for “Single Ladies” in 2010.
Even so, Beyoncé remains one of the Recording Academy’s biggest success stories. To celebrate, Billboard has compiled a complete chronology of every single one of her Grammy nods — a list that only seems to get bigger each year, so keep checking back every nomination season for updates.
From 2000 to now, see every time Bey has been up for a golden gramophone — and whether she won or not — below.
